Buck Knives Sovereign Button Lock Pocket Knife (Stainless Steel, 2.63" Blade)

I love the aesthetics of the original 110 but it’s a real lump to carry around in your pocket, and I’m not much of a belt holster kind of guy. This makes some small but important changes to the original, and winds up being pretty much the best pocketknife ever made. First, the addition of the thumb stud for one-handed opening makes it infinitely more useable. Then the lighter weight and thinner profile makes it easier to carry wherever you go. And the pocket clip and fancy high tech steel are the cherry on top. I put off buying it for years because I already had a 110, but I’m glad I finally pulled the trigger. It’s now one of my prized possessions.

As with most buck knives this one has been good. I like the orange handle, easy to locate if it is set aside. The blade holds an edge very well and it is light weight. Worth having.

I love my Buck. It’s always in my pocket. Super quality and the customer service and warranty is second to none.

I can't in good conscience keep this wonderful knife as I have some american made spyderco's that do the same job and I want an s30v 105 Pathfinder that's 170 bucks...so, there is NOTHING I don't like about this. Little tiny thing is that I am super used to my spyderco's and I do ALOT of cutting around the farm. This one would be a beautiful piece next to my orange accented gshock and my KTM etc, But I can't afford to so I may have to wait for the less expensive version of this to be available. Love the knife, it's everything my spyderco's are, maybe stronger, and a better color!! I'm returning it tomorrow before I change my mind but you don't have to, so get it if you like it no fear!

I bought this because I was relieved of my prior blade by TSA when I forgot to remove it from my pocket. I’m not a fanboy, but I’ve always trusted and preferred Buck. This one has put a damper on that. The most noticeable issue was the casing. Definitely not the bright vibrant orange in the listing. Looks like it may be dirt or charcoal. Either way, it has clearly been handled with dirty hands. Not that it’s going to stay pristine but I would like the honor deflowering my own knife. Second issue. The edge. Definitely not sharpened to the standards of my prior Buck purchases. Honestly, had I looked at this in a shop, I would have left it on the counter. The last thing is the flip lug. If you are from Lilliputen or Munchkinland the lug may be perfect for your hands. Even with my wee Irish fingers, using the lug requires some uncomfortable and unstable handling to open. This is compounded by how stiff the blade is when opening. On the upside, it is lightweight and it is a slightly longer blade. For the money? I’d find something else.

I am a man with small hands who was looking for a knife suitable for cleaning small game. This knife is an excellent choice for me, but I think that it should be $25 cheaper. The blades is made of very good steel (CPM-S30V). It is as tough as many super steels. It is fairly good at keeping an edge (even though some super steels beat it for that). And it is very corrosion resistant. Maybe more important than the steel is the heat tempering process. Buck (Boss) is famous for their heat treatment. The blade shape is the iconic Buck clip point beloved by hunters everywhere. The scales are G10 and are textured to allow good grip while not being abrasive. The clip is nice. It is black, small, and allows deep carry. It was also slightly uncomfortable to me in my grip when I think about using it for 30 minutes. So, I removed it. Now, the knife fits my small hand perfectly. I suspect that those with large hands may have a different opinion. The knife has two big knobs on the blade. I like that because this knife can NOT be easily flicked open with a single hand. I find it easiest and safest to use my thumb and forefinger of one hand on the blade to open it while my other hand holds the knife steady. I can open the knife with one hand, but I have to be careful to exert a lot of force to push the blade open. The blade will snap close if you aren't careful. Those two knobs on the blade also act as a good thumb rest for me when I grip the knife. It is a lockback. Some have complained about the force it takes to unlock the blade, but I did not have a problem. The handle is not reinforced with steel like my Benchmade Mini-Adamas. That means it is not as rugged but is lighter. It is a lockback, that means that washing it out is not as simple as with the Mini -Adamas where water can flow straight through the handle. Still, you have Buck's forever warranty with a good steel and very durable G10. I like the blaze orange color that will help me keep up with the knife. Blade dimensions are 2.97" long, 0.74" wide, and 0.12" thick. Cutting edge is 2.57" long. Handle is 4.17" long, apx. 0.77" wide, and 0.38" thick. It is supposed to weigh 2.8 oz. It is small and light enough to easily carry in your pocket.

Sure, this Buck knife might not come with the most impressive blade steel, but I, for one, think it's a good quality budget knife that's well constructed and has great action. In a way, it's kind of like a mini CJRB Pyrite. I purchased the full size stainless steel version at Walmart and was so impressed with that one that I decided to order this smaller version from Amazon. I do not regret either of those purchases at all. These are great EDC knives if you're on a budget. I should also add that it has a hollow grind, so even if the blade steel is not anything fancy it's still does a great job slicing and taking care of all your EDC cutting tasks. Peace and love.

Perfect basic box opener or whatever you need to cut. Buck is a well known and respected manufacturer.
